CEMEX has confirmed a partnership with CASE Construction Equipment to introduce lower-carbon vehicles that offer reduced fuel consumption into multiple markets across Europe.

This is the latest company development to be announced in line with CEMEX’s global sustainability strategy ‘Future in Action – Committed to Net Zero CO2’.

The selected vehicles (which are both wheel and backhoe loaders) will be used in CEMEX materials businesses in several countries, including France, Spain, Czech Republic, Poland, Germany and the UK. The first tranche of machines has already been delivered in France with subsequent machines being delivered in the coming weeks.

Craig Hooper, Mobile Equipment Fleet & Category Manager for CEMEX Europe, commented: “The vehicles we use as part of our work are a key part of improving our sustainability and we are pleased to have agreed this contract with CASE. They incorporate advanced technology alongside lower fuel consumption due to an improved power to weight ratio. We look forward to working with CASE to explore other opportunities to enhance the eco-credentials of our fleet.”
